Answer:

I've never (not ever) thought of this type stuff so my answer may be all of the obvious of course to you robotic folks(please pardon my intrusion if that's the case) But now I'm intriguedAh my guess is you could print that list of three or four times then cut the items out so you end up with three collections of your list of itemsIt sounds easier to me then some computer method (what i know though) So then you can be sorting them out on the table in your array of ideas with/for five itemsi can imagine many listsHow functional useful have other people found each of these items in relation to some of the other itemsBasicly every item would record water marks etcGoodluck that's my final answer!

Define useful and purposeIt's sort of vagueThis sounds like a fun project though; you should really try to be creative on your own because I'm assuming that's part of the projectTape the four playing cards in to a square shape and then tape aluminum foil to the back of one open sideTape the straws so that they both go across the opening not covered with tinfoil (horizontally)Then tape the toothpicks vertically over the strawsIt's a jail cell! You could bend the straws in to a rectangle and wrap the paper around themThen tape it togetherThen tape the shoelace to one of the cornersThen put the rubber bands around it so that it forms and X in the centerIt's a kite!
use the shoelace then put it in your shoe, thats usefull, teachers dont put as much effort in as they used too.

It is probably NOT asbestosYou say it looks like current fiberglass and it probably isOwens Corning trademarked the pink colorMost others are now yellow but fiberglass is naturally white and a great deal of it was back thenProbably has a paper backing tooAsbestos is really not a problem unless disturbedIt is also very possible that the insulation was added at a later timeIn 1949 they did not insulate as well as we do nowMy first house was built in 1952 and it also had white fiberglass insulationThe manufacturers name is probably printed on the backing so you could research itt that wayAsbestos insulation was mostly a fluffy kind of material not the fiberglass looking stuff.
